The Ice Emperor turned her head to look at her sister; it was the first time she had ever heard her sister say something as ungentle as "Are you mocking me?"
It seemed that the scene before her had finally provoked the Snow Emperor to the point of wanting to refute Lin Yi.
"Did you just say, I'm mocking you?"
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked toward the Snow Emperor, the intensity of their confrontation causing the Snow Emperor's skin to instantly tighten.
The sovereign of the snow plains from the far northern lands felt danger in Soul City for the first time.
But even with caution, when had the Snow Emperor ever feared anyone so easily?
She stepped forward with a determined look, her god-given beauty etched with seriousness:
"This Emperor, does not believe."
The cold, bone-chilling wind and snow were released from around the Snow Emperor's body, stirring gusts that made everyone feel as if they'd been plunged into an ice cellar.
"Whoo—whoo—"
Each crystalline snowflake was as sharp as a blade, making a piercing Zhu Zhu sound as they fell through the air.
Thousand Waves looked down and saw that his clothes had been cut by the snowflakes, leaving many slashes.
He lowered his eyebrows and said in a heavy voice to Tang Chen, "Brother Chen, if we don't let her witness Senior Lin Yi's prowess now, when will we?"
Surrounded by the wind and snow, the Snow Emperor let out a cold laugh upon hearing these words, but the next moment, she heard something that shook her soul.
"Emperor Cold Sky! Snow Dance Glaring Sun!"
Tang Chen's voice was heavy and forceful, instantly resonating in the heart of everyone present.
At that instant, the air became dead still.
"Crack—crack—"
The ground quickly frosted over, the cold wind assailed, and specks of snow rapidly spread, encompassing the entire Soul City.
"Whosh—"
The fierce wind arose, the sky filled with dense snowflakes, the ground frozen into thick layers of ice, wind and snow ravaging Soul City!
The entire Soul City within a radius of ten thousand meters was enveloped by a white vista, with everyone within the domain hunching their necks, every household's doors tightly shut, their roofs accumulating thick layers of snow.
And all this formed in a mere instant.
The Snow Emperor looked around, the magic around her disturbed as she stepped on the snow, an expression of utter shock crossing her lovely face!
Looking at Tang Chen, his robes billowing, his hair covered in a layer of frost, his eyes had turned white, with halos swirling within, whilst a misty magic light continually released from his body.
Tang Chen appeared to have become the sovereign of this world of ice and snow!
"Damn, it's truly cold!"
"I'm freezing to death!"
...
Several Titled Douluos from the Martial Soul Hall couldn't help but huddle, nervously avoiding the falling snowflakes that had already cut several fine slashes on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face.
"Sister..."
The Ice Emperor gripped the Snow Emperor's arm, watching as a strand of her sister's hair was cut by a snowflake and fell.
This was indeed the Emperor Cold Sky Domain, but it was not the Snow Emperor who had released the Emperor Cold Sky...
The expressions on both sisters' faces varied but were equally unpleasant.
At this moment, the Snow Emperor held a sharp snowflake in her fair palm, panting heavily as she looked up toward Lin Yi on the platform.
This man made her truly realize what it meant to be outmatched.
In the vast Extreme North, she was the unrivaled sovereign, yet in this tiny Soul City, her prized techniques were casually comprehended and passed on by a young man.
This event shattered the Snow Emperor's worldview; she hadn't expected someone like this to exist in Soul Land. If she hadn't followed her sister here, she might never have had this revelation.
"So, it's true..."
The Snow Emperor murmured softly, her complexion extremely unsightly.
"Brother Chen, that's enough! We can't take much more! Achoo!"
Thousand Waves sneezed even before he finished his sentence.
At this moment, some of the human Soul Masters with less soul power were nearly frozen into ice popsicles; any longer like this, and they wouldn't survive.
"Humans are ultimately weak."
Gu Yuena said indifferently, but when she heard a noise and turned her head, she found Bi Ji trembling all over with a runny nose.
"Master, it's so cold, quack..."
"You... useless."
"Wuu wuu—Achoo!"
Gu Yuena frowned and scolded her, but still opened her arms to embrace Bi Ji.
The white light around Tang Chen vanished, and he knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, breathing heavily.
The wind and snow covering the whole Soul City also disappeared at that moment.
Thousand Waves hurried over and helped Tang Chen up: "How do you feel?"
"No problem, I had no idea this Domain was so powerful; I've stumbled upon a treasure." Tang Chen said, pale but smiling, looking up only to see the Snow Emperor's face looking extremely ugly.
He quickly shut his mouth and once again made his way toward the platform.
"Brother Chen, can you withstand a second attack? Do you need my assistance?"
Thousand Waves asked from behind.
"No need."
Tang Chen climbed the steps to reach Lin Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and asked, "Senior, may I rest for a moment?"
"Three minutes."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Tang Chen said gratefully, immediately sitting down to meditate on the spot.
Having used the Haotian True Body and the ninth soul skill, and then the Emperor Cold Sky Domain, the drain on him was tremendous; without a short rest, he wouldn't be able to unleash even one skill.
"Lin Yi! How did you do it?"
At that moment, the Snow Emperor still couldn't help but take a step forward and ask Lin Yi.
"There's nothing surprising about it; I can perform all three of your ultimate skills, and I presume there's no need for me to demonstrate again to prove it," Lin Yi replied, looking at her with an indifferent gaze and a casual tone.
